In this video, let's learn new vocabulary and phrases about common household items through
an interesting conversation of Will and his new neighbor, Alfonso.
Coming.
Uh, hello?
Good morning.
My name is Alfonso.
I'm an overseas student and I'm your new neighbor.
Oh, hello Alfonso.
Please call me Will.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
I just moved here last night and I don't have a lot of things to use in my house.
Would you mind if I borrow the thing that you put in a clock to make it work?
Do you mean the batteries?
Yes, that's right.
Do you have any?
Sure.
How many batteries do you need?
Just two, please.
Here you are.
Thank you.
See you later.
See ya.
Hello, Alfonso.
How can I help you?
Sorry to bother you, but may I ask whether you have the clothes hanging?
Clothes hanging?
Yeah, well, um...
A piece of plastic that you use to hold your clothes?
Ah, you mean the clothes pegs?
Yes, yes, that's it.
And may I ask for the tool that you use to fix your clothes?
What is that?
I don't know.
Well, it's really small and thin.
Here's a photo of it.
Ah, this is a needle, man.
Ah, yes.
May I borrow it?
Sure.
But have you got thread yet?
What is it?
It goes with the needle for sewing.
You know, it's the string of cloth.
Oh, I got it.
I don't have it.
May I borrow as well?
Of course.
I'm so sorry, Will.
I still need a lot of things.
Don't worry, I can understand.
What can I do for you?
I need to wash my clothes.
But I don't have the...the...
You know, the thing that you put in the washing machine to wash your clothes.
The detergent?
Yes, that's what I mean.
I only have the liquid detergent.
Would you mind using it?
Oh, actually, I often use the powder one.
But it's fine.
Okay, wait for me a bit.
Thank you.
And by the way, do you have a smartphone?
Sure, I do.
Do you have the phone battery?
You mean the phone charger?
Oh, yes, sorry.
I really need it because my phone ran out of battery.
I see.
But I'm charging my phone right now.
Oh, it's okay.
I can come back to borrow you tonight.
Alright, do you need anything else?
Hmm, maybe I need a tower?
Well, I cannot give you that thing, man.
No, no, no.
I mean a towel.
Okay, I have two towels, so I'll give you one of them.
Here you are.
Thank you, that's enough.
I will come back to borrow the charger tonight.
Oh, you don't have to.
Let me bring it to you.
Oh, really?
Thank you so much.
Hello, Alfonso.
Are you home?
I'm here, I'm here.
Here's the charger.
Thank you, Will.
I will return everything that I borrowed for you tomorrow.
Be careful.
Don't let the water on the charger.
Oh, it's about my hair.
Sorry, it's too wet.
May I borrow you one more thing?
I know what you are going to say.
You will borrow me the hair dryer, right?
Yes, how do you know?
But I'm sorry to say that I don't have the hair dryer.
I think you can find one in the supermarket near our neighborhood.
Oh, is that so?
Okay, let me try to go there tomorrow.
Thank you for everything.
Good night.
Have a good night, Will.
Where's my towel?
Oh, gosh, I let Alfonso borrow it.
Gosh, he also took my detergent.
How can I wash my clothes now?
Ugh, guess I should wait for tomorrow.
Hello, Will.
I came here to return your things.
Thank God, I really need the detergent now.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Okay, goodbye.
Hmm, it looks like he's having a cold.
Should I help him?
Will? Will?
Sorry, Alfonso.
I was too tired to open the door quickly.
Do you need anything else?
No, no, it's okay.
What's wrong with you?
I think I have a fever.
Let me see.
Gosh, you are having a high fever.
Should I go out and buy drugs for you?
No way, Alfonso.
Please do not buy drugs.
It's illegal.
Instead, you have to use the word medicine, man.
Okay, medicine.
Where should I find it?
It's always at the pharmacy.
Okay, let me buy it for you.
How are you feeling now?
Not really okay.
Just stay in sofa, okay?
I will cook something for you.
And after that, you can take the medicine.
You don't have to do it for me, Alfonso.
Not a big deal, man.
It's what I should do for you.
Thank you so much, Alfonso.
By the way, have you tried to go to the supermarket to buy a hair dryer?
Not yet.
As you can see, my English is not good.
I'm afraid that I cannot ask for the thing I want.
Oh, come on.
People are very friendly.
Don't worry.
Since you are an overseas student,
people will soon get what you mean without complaining.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Come to think of it,
I haven't taken you around this town.
When I get better,
I will help you get familiar with everything here.
Don't worry, bro.
I will look after you until you recover.
Let's call it a day, shall we?
Hmm, I want to eat something before we go home.
Oh, sure.
I know a really good restaurant on this street.
Let me show you.
Thank you so much for today, Will.
I was able to buy not only the hair dryer,
but also other household items.
You're welcome.
If you need anything,
just knock on my door and I'll be there.
Haha, I still remember I knocked on your door three times a day last week.
Since we are good friends from now on,
I'll let you know.
I was kinda irritated when I couldn't use stuff that I already lent you.
I knew you were, man.
Once again, thanks for your patience.
Come on, now just feel free to borrow anything from me, man.
Or you can just move into my house.
Haha, fantastic.
